Golden Beach (Chinese: 黃金泳灘) is located at 18+1⁄2 miles of Castle Peak Road in So Kwun Wat, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is contiguous with the adjacent Cafeteria New Beach and Cafeteria Old Beach to its northwest.
Golden Beach is the largest public beach in Tuen Mun District with a total area of 78,500 m2 (845,000 sq ft) and a length of 545 metres (1,788 ft). The water quality is usually classified as Grade 2 (Fair). Tropical trees, like coconut, and flowers of various species are planted on both sides of a 480-metre-long (1,570 ft) promenade running parallel to the beach. Refreshment kiosks, a hotel, and a shopping centre are located adjacent to the beach.
There is a volleyball court at the beach, which is a unique feature amongst the beaches of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong national beach volleyball team occasionally practise on Golden Beach.
